'''Pentecost''' was the time when the [[Holy Spirit]] came down upon men.  When [[Jesus]] [[the Ascension|ascended]] to heaven, he told his disciples: <blockquote>"Do not leave [[Jerusalem]], but wait for the gift my promised, which you have heard me speak about.  For [[John the Baptist|John]] baptized with water, but in a few days, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:4-5)</blockquote>

The day of Pentecost came on the 50th day after the [[Sabbath]] of [[Passover]] week.  The Holy Spirit descended from [[heaven]] when they were all in one place making a sound like "the blowing of a violent wind" (Acts 2:2).  "Tongues of fire" rested on each of them (Acts 2:4).  Each man began to speak in other languages as the spirit enabled them.  A crowd soon gathered to see what was happening, and were amazed by what they beheld.
